Weather change

[J-Lopez]

I see there is a big temperature change in the forecast for later this week in Oswego, with a north wind. How will this effect fishing/ staging? I'm still trying to understand which l type of wind stacks what kind of water.

Off Rochester, south wind in the summer pushes warm surface water offshore, which causes a draw of colder deeper water into the nearshore under the warm wind driven surface water.  North wind should do the opposite.  This is a simplification of the process, and how much it occurs will depends on shore orientation and how strong the wind is, and likely other factors, and it can be somewhat localized, but it is a start.    I would say that a strong North wind will delay staging at the river mouths as it could put a lot of fish back out deeper.   Oswego may be more complicated because of Mexico Bay, and the East shore impacts.
